Maxing Chen Yi-Yuan Family Mansion is the largest old mansion in Changhua and among one of the most famous in Taiwan. It was built during the Qing Dynasty in 1846. The Chen Family struck a fortune from trading across the Taiwan Strait. The family began to settle in Taiwan, so they purchased the land and built the mansion. One of the clan members was named a First-Degree Scholar in 1859 and this achievement led many more of the family's descendants to ace in the county and provincial exams. It was quite a prominent family in Taiwan.
